Enter this deeply crispy pan pizza, which takes the stress out of making a super-stretched, perfectly round pizza and delivers a golden, crunchy crust that is hard to resist.\n   <\/p>\n<p>\n    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Crispy pan pizza, sliced, on a dark blue plate on a dark green surface, with a glass of red wine next to it.\" class=\"wp-image-81134 size-full\" height=\"1500\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" src=\"https:\/\/smittenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/simple-crispy-pan-pizza-sq.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/smittenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/simple-crispy-pan-pizza-sq.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/smittenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/simple-crispy-pan-pizza-sq-500x750.jpg 500w, https:\/\/smittenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/simple-crispy-pan-pizza-sq-768x1152.jpg 768w\" width=\"1000\"\/>\n   <\/p>\n<p>\n    The trick is using a cast iron skillet or another oven-safe nonstick pan. I love my cast iron skillet for this because it gets incredibly hot, which helps achieve that coveted crispy bottom. You generously oil the pan, press your dough into it, top it with your favorite sauce, cheese, and toppings, and then bake. No preheating a pizza stone, no special tools \u2014 just a hot oven and a trusty pan.\n   <\/p>\n<p>\n    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Close-up of the crispy bottom of a slice of pan pizza, showing the golden, bubbly crust, lifted from the pan.\" class=\"wp-image-81131 size-full\" height=\"667\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" src=\"https:\/\/smittenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/simple-crispy-pan-pizza-bottom.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/smittenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/simple-crispy-pan-pizza-bottom.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/smittenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/simple-crispy-pan-pizza-bottom-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/smittenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/simple-crispy-pan-pizza-bottom-768x512.jpg 768w\" width=\"1000\"\/>\n   <\/p>\n<p>\n    The result is a pizza with a thick, airy, and golden-brown crust that\u2019s almost like focaccia, but with a crackly, super-crispy bottom. The edges get wonderfully crunchy, and the cheese bubbles up and browns just right. It\u2019s perfect for a casual weeknight dinner, and everyone loves customizing their own toppings.\n   <\/p>\n<p>\n    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Full pizza in a cast iron skillet, with red sauce, melted mozzarella, and some cooked pepperoni visible on top.\" class=\"wp-image-81133 size-full\" height=\"667\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" src=\"https:\/\/smittenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/simple-crispy-pan-pizza-pie.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/smittenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/simple-crispy-pan-pizza-pie.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/smittenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/simple-crispy-pan-pizza-pie-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/smittenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/simple-crispy-pan-pizza-pie-768x512.jpg 768w\" width=\"1000\"\/>\n   <\/p>\n<p>\n    I\u2019ve linked to my<br \/>\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/smittenkitchen.com\/2013\/05\/lazy-pizza-dough\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n     Lazy Pizza Dough recipe<br \/>\n    <\/a><br \/>\n    which is excellent here, but you can absolutely use a good quality store-bought pizza dough if you\u2019re short on time.
